Monumental’s Rinkside Updates are becoming must-watch videos. Not really for the exclusive insight they are supposed to bring, but rather because of the silly things that happen in the background. Last week, Mikhail Grabovskiavoided an important question about re-signing with the Washington Capitals. He did however comment on “a lot of funny guys in the shower right now laughing at me.”

This week, Nicklas Backstrom spoke to Mike Vogel and no one listened to what he was saying because we were too busy watching his new linemate, Troy Brouwer, hamming it up in the background.
